    Will have to try that. If I can just lose the resistor and it works as it is supposed to without it would save some good work.

      It's fine for testing purposes, but I wouldn't recommend that long-term, based solely on the fact that the low-speed circuit could be rated for lower amperage than the high-speed circuit. It doesn't appear to be so, but I wouldn't take any chances. A replacement resistor can't be that hard to find (IIRC they are 1.2Ω).

        Remember if you remove the resistor from the circuit, you are effectively increasing the current and will need to bump up the fuse to a higher amperage rating. The high speed circuit uses a 30A fuse, which should also work for the low speed if you remove the resistor (stock is 15A).

            Look, just rig it up temporarily to troubleshoot and put everything back to factory when you're done. Wiring melts due to heat generated over time, it's not going to damage your circuitry if you just leave it on for a few seconds.
